#比特币与黄金战争 Here's a harsh truth: In the long run, cryptocurrencies do make money, but nine out of ten people lose. This is not a matter of luck; it's a rule.
There are a bunch of tools available on platforms—futures, contracts, leverage, spot trading, quantitative trading. You can use any of them; the key is not the tool itself but whether you understand how to use it.
Futures are about betting on the direction. Contracts with high leverage are exciting when the trend is right, but liquidation can lead to bankruptcy. Leverage lower than that of futures makes many people relax their guard, and a lapse in self-control can turn into a bottomless pit. Spot trading is the most solid, earning from trends. Quantitative trading? The profit-loss ratio isn't ideal—don't overestimate it. As for copy trading, 90% of people will lose, 10% will win—it's a clear probability.
No matter what tools you use, the dead lines are these few points—
**Drawdowns must be kept within 15.5%.** Exceeding this indicates no stop-loss awareness; losing is only a matter of time.
**Profitability rate should be between 60%-85%.** Below 60% indicates a flawed strategy; above 85%, don't get cocky—it's probably just good luck for a short time and doesn't reflect real strength.
**Position size exceeding 20% will eventually lead to failure.** This is not scare tactics; it's mathematics.
Leverage below 20x is still manageable, but there's an invisible condition—traders must put real money into the game. Someone using others' money as toys, just to earn a bit more commission (like 10%), will try all sorts of tricks. Winning and bragging about commissions, losing and then running away—can copy traders not be considered leeks?
Honestly, it's natural for others to make money off you; there's nothing wrong with that. The real question is whether both parties understand—are you doing business? The essence of business is principal first, profit second, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation. 🤝

99% of people die because of their self-control issues. I've seen too many cases.
Copy trading? Haha, 90% are bound to lose, not joking. That's just a tax on intelligence.
20% position size is the life-and-death line; exceeding this truly has no hope.

That's so true, copy traders are all fools. I've seen too many get wrecked.

Whoa, 15.5%. How is this number calculated? It feels a bit like mysticism.

90% of copy trades are doomed to fail. This number hits hard. I'm just struggling within that 10%.

There's nothing wrong with that; copying trades is just a harvesting tool, I've seen too many cases.
Nine out of ten people lose money on this, honestly it's just a lack of discipline.
I'm convinced by the 15.5% drawdown line; it really is a life-and-death line.
